 |
|
Hello everyone,
I am using this guide (with ethernet bridging and baselayout 1.12.13) to configure my system as a wireless access point. When I run vanilla-sources 2.6.32.9 everything is fine. In fact things have been fine for the past 6 months with various kernels.
I just updated my kernel to vanilla-sources 2.6.33.5 and I get these errors while my system is starting up
| Quote: | can't add wlan0 to bridge br0: Operation not supported
ERROR: cannot start hostapd as net.br0 could not start |
Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I fix it?

| Is your wireless still appearing at wlan0 or has it perhaps changed to eth0 or wlan1? Perhaps this could be the problem. |

I came across this https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298824 which is the problem I am having. I followed what they said and everything appears to be working properly.
Update: Your bridge in your /etc/conf.d/net file should look like the following for baselayout 1.x
| Code: | | bridge_br0=( "eth1" ) |
All mentions of wlan0 should be removed from your net file such as
| Code: | | config_wlan0=( "null" ) |
Also you must use hostapd-0.7.1 or greater as that does the bridging. |

Hello I bumped in the following error and I've found this thread.
| Code: | | can't add wlan0 to bridge xenbr0: Operation not supported |
I usually put up a bridge manually, with the eth0 network car, but I'm not able to do it when I am connected throug wlan0.
Am I doing something wrong?
This is the procedure I am doing to put the bridge up:
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0
brctl addbr xenbr0
brctl addif xenbr0 wlan0
brctl setfd xenbr0 0
brctl stp xenbr0 on
dhcpcd xenbr0 |
If I put eth0 in place of wlan0, it does work.
